Submitted by the Event Organizer
Vân-Ánh Võ devotes her life-long passion and mastery of the dan tranh zither to the creation of distinctive music infused with a cultural essence that can only come from this unique Vietnamese instrument. Among her accomplishments is an Emmy Award-winning film soundtrack and frequent work with the Kronos Quartet.
The VA’V is her collaborative project blending traditional sounds and songs of North, Central, and South Vietnam with modern soundscapes, integrating elements of jazz, Western classical music and rock along the way. This interactive performance will provide cultural context for a vibrant musical hybrid, with instrumentation also including dan Bau (mono-chord), dan T’rung (bamboo xylophone), vocals, Indian tabla, cello, and drum set.
This is part of the exhibition Operation Babylift: Perspectives and Legacies program series, co-curated by the Presidio Trust and the Adoption Museum Project.
